The regular utilisation of sandwich panels calls for identifying the most suitable fastening system. To assure safety, stability and sealing, the system must be selected based on the type of supporting structure. The designer must also evaluate usage conditions depending on local climatic conditions. Particular care should be given when fastening panels with aluminium or copper supports, and for dark colours.
